   That explains it…my dad was the laziest man I ever met. He was a plumber and had a truck full of pipe elbows. Always had a good reason not to use them, too.

   When I was a kid the family lawn mower was manual – today we’d call it better for the environment.

   Sore elbows! And there’s your second reason, fulfilling Opal’s little homespun nugget of wisdom. Cleverly done!
   Reminds me of an old Wizard of Id strip— Bung: A penny for your thoughts!" Wizard (quoting): “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Bung: “That’s not bad. Here’s your penny.”

   Unfortunately, many people who like a well-cared for lawn (Pearl) expect other people to do all of the work. First thing I do when I buy a house is kill the lawn.

    Huh?
    
    Instead of just asking, like you two did, I Googled the name and found out:
    
    1. That Imanartisthoney misspelled the name — it’s Matt Stutzman (no fourth-letter “n”); and
    
    2. He’s an archer without arms from Chicago.

    OOPS! I goofed — I meant to say he’s from Iowa. I don’t know where “Chicago” came from.
    
    Anyway, he is an archer, and he was a member of the 2012 U.S. Paralympic team.

    Hey Earl? Ever hear of putting gas in the lawn mower so you can mow the lawn and get the job done? You’re turning into Andy Capp other than you don’t drink beer.
